I need to call my lawyer so that this hack gets criminally prosecuted
After a vital surgery, Doctor comes to Citizen with a confession...
Unfortunately, your central veins have all been cut, your kidneys have been liquefied, and your liver has been branded with my initials
What?! That must be illegal, you deserve imprisonment!
1. THE ISSUE
The Lawyer arrives as soon as Citizen calls...
Compensation won't help me now, or benefit anyone in the future. Isn't there anything you can do?
Lawyer! Look what that doctor did to me! Can we criminally charge him and ensure his imprisonment?
2. IDENTIFYING THE NEED
There might be something...
Unfortunately, we cannot. Gross medical negligence is not covered under the Criminal Code. However, we can seek compensation.
Back in The Lawyer's Office...
Hi Mr. MP! I have a client who helped me realize the need for a new law after pointing out a gap in the Criminal Code. I was wondering if you could draft a bill proposing the creation of a new criminal offense for gross medical negligence?
3. Proposing the Bill
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Lawyer! This certainly is an important and significant issue, and I'll get right on consulting with stakeholders, experts, organizations, and affected individuals, as well as conducting appropriate research so that this bill can be drafted and proposed!
